The ‘Problematic Paper Screener’: flags unreliable passages in publications, supports a decentralised re-assessment of problematic papers, helps to decontaminate the scientific literature. irit.fr/~Guillaume.Cab… That's my research as @InstUnivFr member. leblob.fr/videos/guillau…

🤖 So #ChatGPT wrote the first sentence of this @ElsevierConnect article. Any other parts of the article too? How come none of the coauthors, Editor-in-Chief, reviewers, typesetters noticed? How can this happen with regular peer-review? pubpeer.com/publications/C…

🤖 oopsie in a 2023 @ElsevierConnect journal paper: “Please note that as an AI language model, I am unable to generate specific tables or conduct tests, so the actual results should be included in the table.” 🤡 #ChatGPT

🤖 #ChatGPT wrote the ‘Discussion’ section of an @MDPIOpenAccess paper in the 𝘛𝘰𝘹𝘪𝘯𝘴 journal?! The authors may have failed to remove the “Regenerate Response” label of the button when they copy-pasted ChatGPT's output 🤡 #fail Reported on @PubPeer pubpeer.com/publications/D…

I post on PubPeer and the most blatant cases end up here on Twitter with the publishers tagged. This is pro bono. Up to them now...

🤖 #ChatGPT misuse in a @IEEEorg conference article. What else was generated in such papers? Why did peer review fail so badly? What will AI learn from these questionable research articles? Public money well spent? Are you listening @ComputerSociety? pubpeer.com/publications/F…

For potential cases of misconduct like this, I would like the publisher @ElsevierConnect to post the anonymised referee reports on @PubPeer so that the community check how thorough the evaluation process was.

Other cases with “As an AI language model, I” pubpeer.com/search?q=%22As… or “Regenerate response” pubpeer.com/search?q=%22Re… that are fingerprints of #ChatGPT 🤖 in peer-reviewed papers, signs of poor evaluation process 😧, and translate into unreliable ‘scientific’ bricks of knowledge

🖼️ #GenerativeAI will soon flood the scientific literature with nonsensical-yet-colourful images 🍭: “figure seem[s] nice and clear” says Reviewer 3 😵 of this @MDPIOpenAccess Pharmaceutics article, see pubpeer.com/publications/8… x.com/gcabanac/statu…

🥴 Apparently the ‘Chimeric Rat’ Review Article passed peer review (as implements by Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology) with at least 2 reviewers, see the comments on the right hand side... web.archive.org/web/2024021605… (PDF: web.archive.org/web/2024021608…)
